report:

 We observed the SWIFT/BAT error region for GRB 050309 (trigger
no. 107873) using Lulin 1-m telescope at Taiwan. We imaged a single
R-band 300 sec exposure at 11.14 UT (~ 25 mins after the burst
). Compare with DSS-II image, no new object was found. The limiting
magnitude is about 19 mag ( S/N=3 , with USNOB1.0 catalogue).
